Sugar Monsters!! How are you? How was your weekend?!?!
I had a fabulous weekend. Fab-u-lous! And, I hope you did too.
Now it’s monday 
Monday… back to work, back to school, back to responsibilities and back to longing for the comfy-cozy feeling of being in your pj’s snuggled in bed.
Let’s rescue Monday… Let’s instead give Monday a great name, and an amazing feeling by adding some chocolate to this party.
How can you have a lame monday if there’s chocolate involved?
Yaaa-hooooo for Mondays with chocolate 
These cookies are SO incredibly chocolatey… and oh so SUPER-DUPER minty fresh.
If that hasn’t sold you on these little gobs of yumm … there’s thin mints in them.
Yes.
I said
THIN MINTS!!
Confession: I read everywhere the best way to eat thin mints.. were frozen. So, I froze them… and almost ate the entire package.
No words. *droool*
Besides, rescuing monday … I needed to rescue my waist-line… so I made these.
Now, I get to share the yumm-osity with all of you good-looking people.
Happy Monday

Oooh, I need to get my hands on some thin mints now!
Yum! I love chocolate and mint.
I think you’ll adore these then — they are very minty
Oh,my kids would be delighted to find these minty wonders in our kitchen! Each bite is full of deliciousness…hooray!
Thanks Liz for your comment – - that’s really so sweet of you
They are a wonder for sure … once they were made, I shared them with the neighbours kids and they disappeared like candy.
Definitely kid approved
I have been fighting the thin mints all week. Throwing thin mints into cookies with mint hot chocolate now that is a fight I am sure to loose.
Lol – - Alli, trust me – - I know exactly what you’re talking about!! I ended up giving these away as soon as possible just so I didn’t have too many around the kitchen.
They could always be popped in the freezer once made
These look super delicious! Love chocolate and mint combination.
That’s so nice of you Asmita – -thanks so much for your comment
Chocolate and mint mesh so well together – not too sweet, and extremely fresh.
